In the world of professional audio, certain names command immediate respect. Neve. API. Pultec. These aren’t just brands; they are pillars of classic recording, the sonic architects behind decades of legendary music. For years, capturing the authentic weight, punch, and character of their iconic hardware was a multi-million-dollar dream. Today, that dream becomes your reality.
Lindell Audio has painstakingly modeled the most revered analog consoles, EQs, and compressors in history, delivering their sought-after warmth and mojo directly to your DAW. Now, in an unprecedented move, we are making the entire Lindell Audio Bundle available for free download. This isn’t a stripped-down trial version. This is the complete, world-class collection—a full-fledged analog studio in the box, ready to transform your mixes from sterile digital recordings into vibrant, professional productions.
The Centerpiece: Your Complete Console Workflow
At the core of this collection are three of the most influential console emulations ever created. These aren’t just channel strips; they are complete ecosystems that imbue your entire mix with the cohesive glue and sonic footprint of a classic large-format desk.
- Lindell 80 Series: Step behind the board of a vintage Neve 8028, the desk that defined the sound of 70s rock and beyond. Famous for its rich, thick, and harmonically complex character, the 80 Series brings punchy low-mids, silky-smooth highs, and that unmistakable Neve saturation to every track. The bundle includes the full channel strip and bus compressor, giving you the authentic sound of mixing through a legendary console.
- Lindell 50 Series: Experience the classic American console sound of API. Known for its aggressive, forward, and punchy midrange, the 50 Series is the go-to for powerful drums, incisive guitars, and vocals that cut through any mix. With meticulously modeled preamps, EQs, and dynamics from the 500-series and console lineage, you get all the attitude and impact of API’s iconic hardware.
- Lindell 69 Series: Capture the rare and revered sound of the Helios Type 69 console. This is the sound of “Rock and Roll Heaven”—the desk used on seminal records by Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Marley. The 69 Series delivers a unique tonal palette, with a beautifully musical EQ and a warm, slightly gritty saturation that makes everything sound bigger and more organic.
Surgical and Musical Tone Shaping: The EQs
Beyond the full console emulations, the Lindell Audio Bundle provides a suite of specialized equalizers, each with a distinct character and purpose.
- Lindell PEX-500 & TE-100: Dive into the world of Pultec-style equalization. The PEX-500 is your classic “Pultec trick” EQ, perfect for adding massive, tight low-end and silky, airy highs to vocals, bass, and your mix bus. The TE-100 is a rare and coveted tube equalizer from Klein & Hummel, a secret weapon for broad, musical tone shaping that can brighten a mix or add warmth without a hint of harshness.
- Lindell EQ825: A modern classic, this plugin models the revered 8200 series 5-band EQ. It’s a clean, precise, and versatile tool for surgical adjustments and mastering-grade applications, offering immense flexibility without sacrificing musicality.
Dynamic Control with Unmatched Character: The Compressors
Control your dynamics with a suite of compressors that each bring their own iconic personality to the table. From subtle glue to aggressive punch, this collection has you covered.
- Lindell 254E & 354E: The legendary Neve 2254E diode bridge compressor, reimagined. The 254E is a faithful emulation known for its smooth, thick character, perfect for vocals, bass, and adding weight to your mix bus. The 354E takes it a step further, offering a multiband version for precise dynamic control over different frequency ranges—an absolute powerhouse on the master fader.
- Lindell 7X-500: No studio is complete without the sound of a ’76. The 7X-500 captures the lightning-fast attack and aggressive character of the FET compressor that has dominated drum sounds for decades. It’s the instant solution for explosive, in-your-face dynamics.
- Lindell MU-66: Experience the rich, warm, and gooey compression of a classic variable-mu tube compressor, modeled after the Fairchild 660. The MU-66 is pure audio magic, adding incredible density and cohesion to vocals, subgroups, and full mixes.
- Lindell SBC & MBC: The API console bus compressors. The SBC (Stereo Bus Compressor) delivers that signature VCA punch and glue that has made the API 2500 a staple on mix busses worldwide. For ultimate control, the MBC (Multiband Compressor) lets you apply that classic API compression independently across three frequency bands.
The Essential Utilities
Rounding out this incredible collection are the tools you’ll reach for in every single session.
- Lindell 902 De-esser: Tame sibilance and harshness transparently and musically. Based on the legendary dbx® 902, this de-esser is remarkably effective at smoothing out vocals and overheads without sounding artificial.
- Lindell 6X-500: A versatile preamp and passive two-band EQ combo. It’s a simple but powerful tool for adding a touch of analog color and quick tonal shaping right at the source.
- Lindell ChannelX: The ultimate channel strip utility, combining a preamp, EQ, compressor, gate, and filter section into one efficient, CPU-friendly plugin.
This is more than just a bundle of plugins; it’s a comprehensive toolkit for professional audio production. It’s the sound of countless hit records, the character of legendary hardware, and the workflow of a world-class analog studio. For years, this level of sonic power was reserved for the elite. Today, it belongs to you.

1x Old previous release note, kept for information purposes:
TCD Notes just because because –
50 Channel receives some new base presets as well as a
compilation folder of or from Dylan 3d Dresdow, in VST3
presets. The AAX remains with only 13.It is not a mistake about 50 Buss only having default
preset. This is how Plugin Alliance installed it,
and it is the same as last time, too.50 Buss and 50 Channel no longer have x86 modules.
For this release though, the previous x86 modules are kept in
and there are no changes to JBridge for them. The changelog
of “UI refresh” is not compelling enough to drop the
native x86 here.SO – You do NOT have to consider changes when installing, if
you are upgrading.Just, click click click mindless ok.

2x Old previous release note regarding MU-66,
kept for information purposes:TCD Note – It is highly suspected that version 1.0.1 will be
TCD
out soon, as Plugin Alliance forgot to include VST3 presets.
The AAX plugin has presets because it is internal architecture
to the plugin itself; i.e.: The presets are in the .aaxplugin folder,
formatted for it as such. They were obviously present.
